HC Deb 07 February 1969 vol 777 cc192-3W
Mr. Arnold Shaw

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what are the numbers of dwellings which have gone out of rent control in the years 1958 to 1968, respectively.

Mr. MacColl

It is estimated that in the period from July, 1957, to December, 1967, the number of controlled tenancies in England and Wales fell by about 2,400,000. This is due to redevelopment and slum clearance as well as decontrol. It is not possible to make separate estimates for individual years.

The number of controlled tenancies in December, 1967, has been estimated at 1,550,000 but this figure includes a provisional estimate of 350,000 for the Greater London area, which may be adjusted after further analysis.
